We describe the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS) in a 44-year-old man with metabolic syndrome and the time- and altitude-dependent correlation between the development of AMS and blood pressure and heart rate changes. Our observations support a dominant role of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of AMS and suggest new behavioral indications Giacomo Strapazzon Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine,University of Padova via N.
